Thanks. Actually it wasn't bad. It was bad on Monday but I didn't work, so no commute. It was so smokey that the smell woke me up in the middle of the night. (Open windows.)

Anyway, mid 60sF for me. I caught up to a guy on a hybrid but didn't pass. We were just staying ahead of rain. Now it's raining steadily.

Yesterday I avoided the MUP and took roads home. Stopped in the right lane for a red light. Right lane signal has a green right arrow and a red straight-ahead arrow. Woman pulls up behind me and toots her horn. I look at her. She's gesticulating toward the right. I point to the lights. Still red for me, sweetie, sorry! (Right lane is straight & right turn. If I was in a car, she wouldn't have honked, I'm sure.)
